Finished picture of 'The Regatta'

Here is the finished applique/embroidered/painted/felt tip/crayon/machine embroidered/watercolour and acrylic paint picture, so a proper mixed media article. It is very big measures 31" across and 26" down. The colours are much clearer in real life (the light is quite poor here to take photos and I dont feel it shows it to full effect. Anyway I would like to live in the tall pink house on the left, shame they cant make them for real!!

The first picture is the starting point of bright stripes and then machined embroidered over (I dont have a picture of that step) Mauve,green,yellow,pinky-red and blue.

As you can see from the top picture which is brighter the camera hasn't picked out the zingyness of the colours.
